NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie is emotional as she talks about returning to hosting duties on NBC’s “Today” while her mother, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing. Multiple outlets report that Guthrie describes the decision to come back to work as difficult, saying she has been trying to hold it together and that she cries on the way to work. Sheinelle Jones appears to be the person Guthrie subbed for during at least one segment in the show’s fourth hour, where she spoke with Jenna Bush Hager. Guthrie says being on the program provides a “respite,” but that she will not forget her mother’s case and continues to carry the sadness alongside her professional responsibilities. Reports also note that Nancy Guthrie went missing after being abducted on Jan. 31, and that Guthrie has been away from the show for a period before returning. Guthrie’s comments emphasize ongoing grief and difficulty balancing daily work with a continuing search for her mother.
